Very large blooms accompanied by compact foliage make this lavender truly ‘Sensational’. This improved version of English Lavender bears unusually large, thick flower spikes up to 11cm long, creating intense swathes of colour. The deep purple, intensely fragrant flowers are held on thick stems above tight mounds of silver foliage. With stiffer, thicker stems than other varieties, Lavender ‘Sensational’ is very weather resistant and excellent for cutting and drying. Flowering from summer through to autumn, it is a perfect addition to a sunny front-of-the-border spot, as a low hedge to line path edges or planted in patio containers. The aromatic, silver foliage provides interest and brightness throughout the year whilst the flowers offer a treat for all the senses and provide food for beneficial pollinators. Enjoy its heady fragrance outdoors and cut some stems to bring its relaxing perfume indoors as well. Drought tolerant once established. Height and spread: 60cm (24in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow English lavender plants on free draining soil in full sun. Lavenders dislike wet ground, particularly during winter. Improve heavy soil conditions by adding coarse grit or sharp sand prior to planting. When growing English lavender in large patio containers, use a well drained soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3. After planting, prune lavender plants to encourage bushy growth.
Water regularly throughout summer until lavender plants are fully established. Once established, they are reasonably drought tolerant. Immediately after flowering, prune English lavender back to within 2cm (1") of the previous year's growth to maintain a compact, well shaped plant. Culinary idea: Make delicious lavender sugar or lavender and mint jelly from the freshly picked flowers.
